thanks, all of you Freepers, for the ping.
The countdown to Nov. election will be full of liberal vitriol directed at Bush and our military. It will get ugly. The parade proved to me that invisible patriots in SoCal are all around us, and they look identical to the moderates and left. Kids with piercings, tatoos, shaved heads and longhairs, yuppies and blacks and latins and asians and... everybody. They were cheering our troops in direct opposition to popular fashion.
Heartening.
Thanks for the report.
